- l The Schedule referred to' in these Letters `Patent: and lmaking part ofthe same To all whomfit 'ma/y concern y Beit known thatL EMILENOUGAEET', of Newark,

`Essex county, NewJersey, have invented a newand iml l proved lvIachineforVashing and Rinsing Wool; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear', and exact description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art to make and use the same,rreference 'being had to the `mcolnpanying drawings, forming `part of this specification, in which'- l Figure 1 represents a plan or top view of myimproved wool-washing machine. i l Figure 2 is a'vertical central section ofthesame; i Similar letters of reference indicatel corresponding i parts.

f This invention has forits` object to,provide a siiuple l `warrn or cold water, or otherliqnid.

The` invention consists chieiy in` the arrangement' of anannularvessel, in which the Awool to be washedv "in an`iuclined direction upon"`it,so that theforce of v the waterjwill serve to move the wool. n

`A, in 4the drawing, represents an annular made of metal ory other suitable material, and provided withapertures through the bottom d, and through the' A,'lhecylnder B, formed within the vessel A, has an a handle, D, thatisy screwed to its supports.

l By turning the handlel) the valve will -be more or `less elevated or lowered to leave the opening e, over which it works, as far opened as desired.

i l ,machine for washing and `rinsing'wool with the aid of' I"is kept in constant motion, by'fa stream jof water falling l vessel,

j up-and-down adjustable-valve, C, `which is fastened to The ,wool to befwashed is `placed into the annular l lvessel A.-

Themachine isthus kept in motion by theforee of the liquid from the reservoir. i

the holes inthe bottom' a, partly through those in the inner sides b, the valve O regulating its escape from the cylinder." n f When the Woolis to be dschargedlfrom the vessel,

a gate, c, whicl1,"when closed, forms part of the outer v side of A, is opened to let theeontentsof A flow out intoa channel provided for thatpurpose. f Y Having thus described my invention,

What I `claim as new,and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-

A wool-washing machine, consisting of the annular vessel A,'and` elevatedreservoir E, allairanged and operating substantially as herein shown and described, so that the cleaning liquid will serve to keep the -wool in. motion within thevvessel A, as specified.

From areservoir, E, which contains the cleaning liquid, and which is secured-in suitable manner above the vessel "A, leads an inclined spout, d, downward 4toward the vessel A, as inig.2.` i

The liquid escaping fromthe vessel E, `in an inclined ,Y stream, forces the wool in the'vessel A around, and brings thereforefi'esh wool constantly`undex` its action.
